Plans for Today

Good Afternoon All,

Today, I have a meeting with someone pertaining to the overall development of Betty's Only. I look forward to what she may have to tell me to better my business. Currently, I have match books, business cards (ordered via Office Max 7-10 turn around), and a price list. In the works, a brochure and order form. Slowly, planting seeds for future growth.

This weekend there is a craft fair, due to me having candles on consignment I can participate for free. That is good, I have never done anything like that and I always wanted too. I have to contact the lady for this endeavor.

I am positive about what Betty's Only has to offer. I give myself 1 year to have things up and going. Believe and achieve is what I feel today. Planting seeds sometimes takes a long time to see the growth. There has been and will be growth for my company. I will not promise that I will stay positive because that is human. I am human, but I feel the company has much to offer. The candles are different, fragrant, long lasting, and made with love from me. What seems to be funny is that people purchase them and don't use them. Use them because that is what they are for.

I am ok now, how long it will last I don't know. Looking forward to my business meeting and building my company. Blood, sweat and tears will bring Betty's Only to the forefront of this industry. Professionalism is what I am to achieve. Stick with me and watch the growth.

As for the brochure and order form, having serious computer issues at home. I will tried to resend the information, but it failed to send. Problems, if that doesn't work again, I will put more photos here so they can be copied and pasted on my information. I may seem scattered and I know that about myself, but overall, I am making moves in a positive way and supporting myself and my business.

Today was a Working Day

When I got up this morning I started working on the Candle Burners for the bridal shower. I finished the 2 Burning Hearts mom. I am finished with 1 V-Lite Sampler for my friends grandmother. I have 2 more V-Lite Samplers to finish for tomorrow. I have been reading http://www.problogger.com/ and it has many tips on how to promote my blog and get it the publicity that I want it to have.

Also today, I met with another professional photographer and I have an appointment for Wednesday at 10:00 am to photograph the candles. He wants to take pictures of me too to put on the brochure. I understand that, but I didn't want to have my face out there, but I guess I have no choice. Will I do, but I know that will make the product more personal if my clientele puts a face with the procuct. I am ready for my photo opportunity. When he photographs the candles they will be in a setting that will make them look better than the do. The only thing that I am concerned with is making them look good for what they are worth.

Tomorrow, I am going out of town for a few days and need to complete all of the orders. In the morning I will hit the ground running.

I added more photos today too to this site and to http://www.bettysonly.etsy.com/. I still haven't had any more orders on Etsy, but 10 people have added me to their favorites. What I am going to do is purchase from shops on Etsy that haven't had any or few sales. I will support the beginning seller, if it wasn't for my uncle and friends I wouldn't have had a sell on Etsy at all. So, I understand beginners need a start too.
